Description 

From the trail, the first thing you see is a sunny, south facing slab on a tipped-up fin. There are several moderate, but fairly tall problems on the slab. Around the back side are some more difficult and less committing problems, which are nice and shady when temps start to climb.

Getting There 

The first problems you come to, if you follow the trail from the lot at the end of copper, cross the paved arroyo, and take the trail which veers right, to the uppermost (eastern) clump of boulders. See aerial photo.
